Deletion size and deletion separation can distinguish common fragile sites from tumor suppressor genes.

<p>(A) Box and whisker plots for “Deletion Size,” which measures the median size of deletions within a 2-Mb window centered on the gene, common fragile site genes (orange) and tumor suppressor genes (blue) (B) Box and whisker plots for “Deletion Separation,” which measures the separation (non-overlapping) of deletions within a 2-Mb window centered on the gene, (C) The co-deletion tendency of common fragile site genes (orange) and tumor suppressor genes (blue) relative to the co-deletion of genes of different classes (gray).
